[EDH] Theros decks?

I'm relatively new to the game, I started playing draft right when Theros first released so I mostly just have Theros cards. A couple of new buddies I made at FNM always play EDH before draft starts, they let me join in with whatever extra deck they have on them but I think it's about time I built my own. Are there any good EDH decks that mostly use the Theros set? I don't care really about how competitive they are, as long as they are fun to play and I don't have to buy too many cards.

I'll play captain obvious here but I'd guess a good place to start would be to find a "commander" within your collection of cards and pick and choose from cards you own that share colors with it and that compliment its effects. Once you have done that check the Gatherer database for comments regarding the cards you've chosen, from there you will probably find tons of suggestions for cards from other sets that compliment your own and pick and choose from among those to round out your deck. After that its just a matter of narrowing down your strategy and play-testing til you figure out what works and what doesn't.

The gods make for interesting commanders, but are hard to build around being mono-colored. If you are only running Theros though, I'm not sure if there are other options as the commander has to be a Legendary Creature. Maybe wait for Born of the Gods and pick up one of the new dual gods?

Other than that, what /u/RFTKEM1 said is exactly the right advice. Remember that EDH is just for fun and winning isn't a big deal. Run what you have and have fun with it. Find a commander, and then build around it.

Isn't EDH the 100 card decks? I'm new too, so I don't know much. I've played commander 1 time and didn't really like it because the deck size was so massive and splashed way too much. I prefer my mono or pseudo-guild decks.

Edh and commander are the sane thing. You can actually get a poor constructed deck from Wal-Mart target or your local game store and they work great. I never played a3 color deck but the way the commander decks are made it I'd very easy to learn.

That said I'm not the best at EDH/commander but pm me if you wanna talk or need help making/choosing a deck

As for your question,EDH decks use cards from tons of different sets, it is not limited to one

My goal is to buy as few cards as possible, and I mostly just have Theros cards. Otherwise, I would totally be open to buying cards from different sets. I'm just looking for a decklist that mostly draws from the Theros set.

Most of the cards which are pretty good, decent enough for casual EDH/Commander yet not strong enough for tournament formats, are also pretty cheap. On tcgplayer.com (where I buy my singles), the going rate for the cheapest commons is about $0.07, uncommons $0.07-0.25, and rares $0.15-0.40. You can pick up enough cards to supplement what you have and build a decent deck for less than $10.

Also, older players with giant collections might have extra copies of commons/uncommons you need. Make a list and ask an old EDH hand and we'll likely give them to you or trade you just for the chance to add a new player to the format.

Daxos of Meletis is a popular general these days: he's hard to block and gives you the chance at free spells from your opponents' decks.

Any of the 5 gods could lead a Commander deck, Purphuros and Erebos especially.

Anax and Cymede are a R/W creature with the Heroic mechanic. You could make a Heroic-based deck which has lots of Theros cards.

Medomai the Ageless is another U/W option. This deck could focus on making sure its flying Time Walk connects with its opponent and controlling the board and spells with Blue's countermagic and White's removal.

Polukranos, the World Eater and Hythonia the Cruel are other mono-colored options if Green and Black are your flavor.
